Softimage | XSI v7.0 – Known Issues and Limitations

***Driver Issues***
Notice to ATI FireGL users 

There are known compatibility issues with XSI 6.5/7 and ATI FireGL cards (tested with the ATI release driver version 8.502). These issues include a delay in selecting objects with large polygon counts in the viewport and also a memory leak using ICE in V7. ATI is aware of these issues and will have a fix in the near future to ensure full compatibility with XSI. Until the fix from ATI is made available, Softimage does not current recommend using XSI 6.5/7 with ATI FireGL cards.
